The right answer is three. let R be roses, T be tulips and D be daisies.

R T D All are roses except 2 so R and two others (T and D) all are tulips except 2 (R and D) and all are daisies except 2 (R and T)

THen again, there could be no flowers at all. all are roses/tulips/daisies, except two as in the number two.

Here is why I don't like the two answer:

If I have no cars and I say "All of my cars are Fords" am I telling the truth? I don't see how that can be true

r= :wub: t= :excl: d= :huh:

x flower y flower - :wacko: B)) x and y can't be r, t, or d

1st answer - 3 flowers - :wub: :excl: :huh: - 3 minus 2 is one - one of each

2nd answer - 2 flowers - :wacko: B)) - 2 minus 2 is zero - zero of each

just some basic algebra guys
